In SE guise this is a polished and
revealing turntable that is very low on colouration and high on detail, the
sort of detail that makes you realise just how good vinyl can be and why it is
making such a big comeback.

With a great slab of the stuff it can place
the music in the room in totally unfettered fashion, with instruments and
voices placed precisely in the soundstage. Gripping stuff indeed.

In many respects the sound of this
turntable and arm reflects its build quality and even its overall appearance –
it's open by design and open in sonic character. It's also polished and
sophisticated, presenting a coherent and extremely stable soundstage that
delivers genuine sonic holography when the right slab of vinyl is on the
platter.
